Can anybody fix this pedal?

Post by MeYatch »

I have this blend pedal, and I really liked it, but it stopped working. I got sick of it laying around, and tried to fix it. I soldered one wire, and now the LED works consistently, but I get no sound from the loop when engaged. I don't know how the tiny Malaysian kids got this stuff in there, but when I tried to take it out, I broke one of the jacks, and ripped off two wires. On top of that, I'm pretty sure it still doesn't get signal from the loop. Unless one of the 2 wires was already disconnected, and that's the problem. One of them goes to the input jack. I'm not sure where the other one goes.

Anyone think they can turn this into a working pedal again?

What you need to do is:
1.Take that Hershey's wrapper and wrap it around the hickamajobber on the right of picture 1.
2. Twist it up and adhere it to the doodad at the bottom of picture 2, using some bubble gum.
3. Cram it all back in there and Voila! Good as new!

Now I know these are pretty high level directions, but I believe you're up to it.
And "new" is definitely a relative term.
